Barry was suspended 60 days along with Christian Morecraft and Nik Lentz, who suffered a knockout loss and illegal knee respectively, while Matt Grice was sidelined 45 days and Edward Faaloloto was suspended 30 days for their losses.

UFC on Versus 4 drew a respectable 744,000 viewers despite losing scheduled headliner Nate Marquardt the day before the event, but came up short of the 793,000 who tuned in for a replay of “UFC Fight Night 22: Marquardt vs. Palhares” in the same timeslot on Spike.
